Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong said discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos showed growing alignment among regulators, banks and corporations around digital assets and tokenisation.
“Just wrapped up our week in Davos, everyone was talking about tokenisation,”
Brian Armstrong said, adding that the trend is moving beyond stablecoins into multiple asset classes.
Armstrong said Fortune 500 companies are increasingly exploring tokenisation as a way to broaden access to investment opportunities globally.
He noted that regulatory clarity in the United States featured prominently in talks with policymakers and industry leaders.
Armstrong confirmed Coinbase withdrew support for the current Senate version of the CLARITY Act following a late amendment linked to restrictions on stablecoin yields.
“We’ve had countless meetings with key players in DC and Davos over the last two weeks,”
Brian Armstrong said, describing negotiations as focused on balancing innovation and consumer protection.
He said sentiment among large banking institutions has shifted, with crypto now viewed as a strategic priority rather than a niche experiment.
Armstrong described the current US administration as the most crypto-forward globally and said clear market structure rules are key to maintaining competitiveness.
